Mind Your Career: Connect With Students in Your City

When we ask alumni, “How do you want to connect with UChicago”? The common answer is, “I want to connect with students but I live/work away from campus.” Say no more! Join us for this webinar with staff who can help you connect locally.

This webinar will explain how you, as an alumna/us of the University of Chicago, can connect with current and prospective students and give back to UChicago.

Career Treks presented by Clare Nowogrocki and Ruthie Robinson

Career Treks are one to three day trips that give undergraduate students the opportunity to visit industry-specific employers across the United States and abroad. During the trek experience, students meet with three to four companies per day. Career Advancement welcomes alumni to get involved in the Treks Program by hosting students at your workplace for a site visit, which typically includes a tour of the facility, a view into daily life, and an overview of internship and full time positions at your organization. This is a unique opportunity for you to share your knowledge and experience with current UChicago students who are interested in your career path!
